Itchy Boots

A brand new season, starts with purchasing a brand new bike! I am so excited to share with you which bike I bought, and where the new adventures are going to take place!!

In this episode I am getting all my equipment and gear ready to return to South America. I am very happy with my new custom painted helmet from Arai, a total new motorcycle outfit from Rev'it!, which is made especially for riders that like to do lots of off-roading, and my Mosko Moto bags also fit nicely on my CRF300 Rally. Big thanks to my supporters REV'IT!, Arai and Mosko Moto for making this all possible!

In this episode I am finally returning to South America. I am getting my new Honda CRF300 Rally to another continent the same way as I did two years ago when I first attempted to ride to Alaska: I took the ferry to the UK, dropped off the bike at James Cargo, around Heathrow and flew from there to South America. It's now the third time that I transported a motorcycle by airplane and its nerve wrecking as always!

In this episode I am trying to get my motorcycle through custom clearance on the airport in Quito, Ecuador. It took over 7 hours and lots of jumping through hoops but finally... my bike is here and the adventure can begin!!

This is really the first ride in Ecuador of this new season and I am so happy to be back on the road. I decide to ride from Quito to Mindo Valley - a relatively short ride through the mountains, to get used to the new bike, the set up and the country. The scenery is so lush and green, it's incredible and Mindo is one of the cutest towns I've seen!

In this episode I am trying to ride from Mindo Valley in Ecuador to Quilotoa. I am taking some obscure backroads and I get obstacle after obstacle thrown my way! The first one is a wide river crossing with big, slippery rocks. Because of the water, I can't pick my line, so this is like riding enduro, but then blind! I have no other choice but to walk my bike through the river, as I'm not willing to take the risk of drowning my bike! It turned out this was only the first obstacle of the day and so much happened that It didn't even all fit in one episode!

In this episode, I am finally reaching Quilotoa, after a long day full of obstacles and challenges (and with wet boots still!). I came to Ecuador for adventure motorcycling, and well, that's what I am getting! To my surprise though.. I have to pay 2 dollars to enter the village Quilotoa.. that's a first!

In this episode I am exploring locally around Quilotoa in Ecuador. This volcano erupted 8 times in the past 200,000 years, so I guess the odds it will erupt today are small. Right? It gives me such a thrill to ride my Honda CRF300 Rally around the top of the craters edges - unbelievable!!

In this episode I am riding to a tiny town called Angamarca. But not before I visit the weekly Andean market close to Saquisili where people come from far to buy and sell their produce. I'm intrigued with the prices for the animals but eventually, the screaming of the pigs force me to leave the market..

In this episode I am riding to the Chimborazo volcano in Ecuador. This is a special place, because due to the bulging effect of the earth, you are the closest to outer space (and the furthest from the centre of the earth) when you climb to the top of the volcano. There is a big glacier on the top and unfortunately, clouds covered the top all the time that I was there. Still - an absolute magical place with stunning scenery!

In this episode, I am riding to Ingapirca, to visit the 500 year old Inca and Canari ruins there. I am blown away by the ingenuity of these buildings and the history and stories behind it. Definitely worth a visit!!

In this episode I am riding to Cuenca, because I am in need of some good internet and get ready for the jungle for the next couple of days. On the way, I stop at Iglesia del Rocio, a stunning church built on the side of a mountain. There, I meet Maria, who tells me which area of Ecuador is not so safe to visit..

In this episode I am riding from Cuenca to Machala, on the coast of Ecuador. I chose a route straight through the mountains, so I don't have to ride the asphalt main roads. After climbing up to 4000 meters, I am descending straight into lush green jungle. That's Ecuador for you!!

In this episode I am riding towards the Ecuadorian amazon, to a small town called Zamora and I'm checking out a local waterfall there. But on route, I stop in Zaruma, which is dubbed 'Ecuadors prettiest town'. The gold history of the place.. is not so pretty though..

In this episode I am going deeper into the Amazon in Ecuador and find a couple who are part of the Achuar and Shuar indigenous people of Ecuador. After a long and sweaty hike in the jungle, I stay the night at their waterfall - and it is absolutely magical..

In this episode I am trying to get deeper into the amazon jungle in Ecuador, but here, there are no bridges over the wide amazonian rivers. All there is are steel cables with little baskets underneath, carrying you high over the river to the other side. I decide I am going for it and attempt to get across together with my motorcycle 'Alaska'... what was I thinking!?

In this episode I am riding to the Cotopaxi volcano, and wow, it's spectacular!! Motorcycles are not allowed inside the national park, but luckily, this volcano is so big, that I get some pretty good views from just outside the park. I continue to Quito to get some new tyres. As always, when you are on the road, you can expect to get tyres that you really want. Instead, you just try and get your hands on any tyre that fits your motorcycle. In this case, I manage to get some Heidenau K-60, so not bad at all!

In this episode I am trying to leave Ecuador and cross the border into Colombia. The Ecuadorian border is still closed, but Colombia is open, so all Ecuador has to do, is to let me leave. But will they??

In this episode I am riding to Mocoa, in Colombia. I take the Trampoline of Death road, and well.. I can see why it's called that. Insane, this is truly insane.

In this episode I am on the hunt for mystical statues and hidden burial mounts in Colombia. Nobody knows who made them and why, but they are incredibly old and belong to a civilization which is long gone.. On the way, I unfortunately encounter some deep mud and get myself into a bit of a pickle..

In this episode I am riding to Desierto de Tatacoa, named after the rattlesnakes of the region. What a dramatic change of scenery and it's incredible to ride alone through an arid region like this, with just cacti growing everywhere!

In this episode, I am trying to make my way to Salento, starting from the Tatacoa desert. I end up somewhere remotely in the mountains after heavy rainfall and this day just turns out different than I thought!

In this episode (which is part 2 of a long day!) I am trying to reach Salento in Colombia. On the way, I pass some very tall palm trees (wax palms) that even turn out to be the tallest palm trees in the world. Not what I expected at 2500 meters altitude in the Colombian mountains!

In this episode I am riding past Amagá, in Colombia - a place that used to be an important connection for the trains connecting big cities such as Calí and Medellín, for the transport of coffee and sugarcanes. The era of the railway lines has long past now, and what's left are furniture businesses, using the old railway sleepers to make furniture from, and the old tunnels and bridges for the trains. I try to cross the old line by motorcycle, which results in a hairraising experience!

In this episode I'll explain what the Darien Gap is and how I am thinking of trying to cross it. There are a lot of unknowns still, but I'll take it step by step. The first step is to ride to Turbo, a port town in Colombia from where I'm trying to find a cargo ship for my motorcycle and a speedboat for myself...

In this episode I'm trying to get to the small town Capurganá, which is right at the border of Colombia and Panama. There are no roads to this town, so I'll have to take a small boat from Necocli. With my motorcycle on it! What an incredibly nerve-wrecking ride!!

In this episode I am officially crossing into Panama. It's a long, long journey on sea and along the way we pass several islands where indigenous Kuna Indians live.

In this episode I am finally arriving in Panama City, after a 3 day border crossing from Colombia over sea! The problem is.. my motorcycle is not quite 'legal' in the country yet, as I haven't got a temporary import permit yet. Customs in Colón is slow and they require lots of paperwork and I've got 1,5 hours to get it done. The race against the clock begun!

In this episode I am showing you the Panama Canal. It's such an ingenious piece of marine engineering with a fascinating history!

In this episode I am trying to reach Playa Escondido, a remote beach in Panama. According to my gps instructions, it looks like there is only one way to reach it, but that leads me straight into a rocky riverbed. Time for some enduro on a fully loaded CRF300Rally!

In this first part of my day in which I am trying to reach Sante Fe in Panama, I end up in a remote area in the mountains, where the roads are challenging and the rivers deep. Very deep..

In this second part of my hectic day to reach Santa Fe in Panama, I luckily get some help from a horseman to get my motorcycle back up the stairs to the bridge. It had already been a long day of 8 hours of riding and I am exhausted!

In this episode, I am riding to Boquete, in Panama. I have to follow the Panamerican highway for a while, which is so boring that I am looking forward to do some adventure riding in Boquete and get up Volcano Barú. The park ranger however, is telling me something else..

In this episode, I am riding to Bocas del Toro, one of the tropical islands off the coast in Panama. I am exploring the only island where you can go with a motorcycle, but soon the trail is gone and it's starting to get a little adventurous..

In this episode, I am visiting some members of the Naso tribe in Panama. Orlando is showing me around the area that they live, and the importance of the river Teribe, for the existence of their people. It was a visit that left the biggest impression on me during my entire stay in Panama.

In this episode, I am crossing the border from Panama into Costa Rica. Will it be a smooth border crossing or one of those slow and confusing ones?!

In this episode, I am riding to Volcan Turrialba in Costa Rica. Besides two large eruptions in 2010 and 2015, there is regularly some activity going on, and that's also the case right now so they closed access to the volcano. Luckily I manage to find a place to stay nearby and get a small peek into the lives of Costa Rican cattle farmers!

In this episode, I am visiting another volcano in Costa Rica: the Poas volcano. I'm only allowed to stay here for 20 minutes as there are potential toxic gases that you can't be exposed for, for too long. What an incredible sight!

What am I doing?? I completely forget that these rivers in Costa Rica all have crocodiles in them. And now I am checking how deep it is, to see if I can cross it on my motorcycle... I make a quick escape and from now on, I only cross rivers around here as fast as I can!

In this episode, nothing goes to plan any longer. Camera issues, border crossing requirements, a motorcycle drop and subsequent laptop breakdown... it's all part of the journey, and I just have to fix it. One problem at the time!

In this episode I am trying to cross the border from Costa Rica into Nicaragua and well.. I have a lot of hoops to jump through and I get questioned by immigration for a long time..

In this episode, I am riding from Managua, to Isla de Ometepe in Nicaragua. But not before I get a feel of the water inside Laguna de Apoyo and ride through the centre of the colonial town of Granada. The ferry crossing to the volcanic island of Ometepe however, turns out to be a little rougher than I anticipated...

In this episode I am hunting for ancient petroglyphs, left scattered around the volcanic island of Isla de Ometepe by indigenous Indians. I'm also searching for a hidden waterfall in the jungle, which is not so easy to reach!

In this episode I am leaving Isla de Ometepe with the night ferry to San Carlos. But I've got a crazy plan. I want to reach San Juan de Nicaragua, a tiny town on the Caribbean coast that can only be reached by navigating the 200 kilometer long river San Juan. Small passenger boats cover this route, but... I want to bring my CRF300Rally with me...

In this episode I am continuing the river journey from El Castillo to San Juan de Nicaragua. I get to experience how life works here, how goods are being transported to this remote corner of Nicaragua where no roads lead to and how the locals go around their daily lives.

In this episode I'm heading deep into the Indio Maiz Nature Reserve with two Rama Indians, Santo and his brother. We are trying to reach a place called Canta Gallo, hidden deep in the jungle. With the hurricane, the unrest and the pandemic, nobody has been here for years. Needless to say it's gotten slightly overgrown!

In this episode I'm having a final breakfast with the Rama Indians along the river Indio, and then the mission to reach Bluefields begins. There are no roads to and from San Juan de Nicaragua, and no road from there to Bluefields. I'll have to go via water again, but the rough ride hurts poor Alaska a little..

In this episode I ride over 400 kilometers from Bluefields, towards Matagalpa in Nicaragua. My plan was to check out an abandoned gold mine, but when I arrived, I learned they opened up the mine again a year ago. I get a close look on how gold mining works here. It's an interesting and heart breaking peek into the lives of the people that work here.

In this episode, I am riding to Léon, in Nicaragua. After some walking around town, I find a local, Norlan, who joins me while motorcycling to volcano Cerro Negro, some 20 kilometers from Leon. We hike up the active volcano, and I get to board down it again. So much laughter and fun!

In this video I am making my way towards the border of Nicaragua and Honduras, but not before taking another sandy trail in between two volcanoes. As you do in Central America!

In this episode, I am crossing the border between Nicaragua and Honduras. Another border crossing - how will this one go?

In this episode I am riding mostly offroad in Honduras, to reach a place I want to visit with caves. After an amazing ride, just before I reach the town, I encounter a dangerous trap. I can't believe people do this.

In this episode I am riding to Trujillo. But before I do, I visit the Talgua Caves, or: the cave of the glowing skulls... What a fascinating and eerie place...

In this episode I am making my way to the island Roatan, off the coast of mainland Honduras. By the time I arrive on the island, it's dark and I still have to find a place to stay. I do not like riding a motorcycle in the dark!

In this episode I am first going to the big island of Roatan, just off the coast of mainland Honduras. But after a little exploration, I find another small boat to take me to some incredible little deserted islands.. welcome to the Caribbean!!

In this episode, it's time to go back to mainland Honduras. But what a journey!! It takes me 11 hours to get to Lake Yojoa!

In this episode I am looking for a very specific place in Honduras. It's not indicated on any map, so I have to ask the locals to point me into the right direction.

It's time for another border crossing! In this episode, I am crossing the border into El Salvador. I'm using a very small border and it turns out that this gets my motorcycle into trouble. Big trouble.

In this episode I am riding to the capital of El Salvador: San Salvador. I have to go here because my Honda CRF300L Rally needs her first big service. In the last 12,000 kilometers I managed to break a couple of things (mostly because of crazy sea crossings in tiny boats) and some parts simply got worn after so much abuse...

In this episode I am leaving the capital San Salvador, after having my Honda CRF300L Rally serviced. I ride towards the Santa Ana volcano, and after a good day of riding dirt trails, I reach a small town called Apaneca. I didn't come here without any reason.. I am meeting an absolute motorcycle legend here!!

In this episode, I am riding with my friend Charly Sinewan, who is also in El Salvador! I asked him for help as soon as I realized my motorcycle was illegally in El Salvador (not intentionally!) and he came to help me get out of El Salvador. Even though we are both traveling around the world for a long time, we still made one mistake ...

In this episode, I say goodbye to my friend Charly Sinewan and I cross the border from El Salvador into Guatemala. Things turn quite serious quite quickly, as I try to cross the lava fields of the Pacaya volcano...

In this episode I keep on battling the lava fields of volcano Pacaya in Guatemala. The slopes are steep, the rocks are big, uneven and sharp. I continue to crash and fall and start to doubt whether I will make it to the other side.

I am trying to reach Lake Atitlan in Guatemala, but to get there is a bit harder than I thought. On the way, I first make a stop at beautiful Antigua though!

In this episode, I called in the help of the Guatemalan police because I have to cross an area with frequent attacks and robberies by bandits. They tell me not to go alone but go with an escort. Things turn out quite differently and the police end up riding my motorcycle across!

One little dirt road can ruin your day. Enough said.

I am trying to visit some Ixil communities in these mountains in Guatemala, but the locals that are trying to give me an escort, they cannot pass with their car so I am on my own again.

In this episode, I am looking for Feliciana. With only a name and a phone number, it's not so easy to find her and I end up finding two other Feliciana's before I finally get to her!

What to say. Semuc Champey is absolute paradise and worth the rough dirt road to get here!!

I never even knew this existed. I've been to hot springs before, but a natural thermal waterfall? Another slice of paradise hidden in Guatemala.

Trying to reach the remote Nakum Mayan ruins turns pear shaped. The track is in horrible condition and part swamp, part mudpit. I get stuck with my motorcycle and then the enormous struggle begins. How am I getting out of here?!

In this episode, I am riding from Yaxha in Guatemala, to Hopkins in Belize. It's time for another border crossing, another country!

In this episode I am trying to reach Lamanai, a site with Mayan temples. In an attempt to avoid the long northern, or long southern detour, I attempt to ride straight to the site. That turns out to be much harder than expected..

In this episode I am attempting again to reach the Lamanai ruins in Belize. But before I go anywhere, I have to fill up the tank of my motorcycle in Crooked Tree, a small town in Belize...

In this episode, I am crossing the border from Belize, into Mexico, on my motorcycle! Another border crossing, let's see how this one will go...

In this episode, I am trying to reach Misol Ha in Mexico. But Mexico is a huge country and distances are big, so I have to ride almost 400 kilometers of boring road to get here and on the way, I get stopped at every police stop..

In this episode, I am heading further in the state of Chiapas, in Mexico. I am looking to meet some of the Mexican native people, the Lacandones. They live in a mystical area of the jungle, with scattered lakes and cenotes and abundant wildlife. Many thanks to my friend Jesus from Sport Cycle Tours Mexico, who helped me with this route and to find the Lacandones people. They actually organise motorcycle tours in Mexico, so if you are interested, check out their instagram @instachuchogram or write them at chucho@sportcyclecentre.com !

In this episode I am trying to ride to San Cristobal de las Casas. I leave the peaceful and tranquil community of Lacandon Mayas, and quickly enter a very different world. I try to avoid the road which has lots of warnings, but the alternative road isn't free of obstacles either. I am on edge and do not trust anybody here.

In this episode I am hunting for tyres again (no luck unfortunately), so I push on towards the Pacific coast. On a big highway, there is another road block in the middle of nowhere. I don't know why it's there and whether or not I will be faced with any aggression so I decide to not hesitate and just go for it..

Want to help and support saving of sea-turtles? I've donated to the project here: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/chaca... This is a small scale project run by volunteers, so all help is greatly appreciated and goes directly to the project! Find more information on what they do here: Instagram: @tortugaschacahua Facebook: Campamento tortuguero Bahia de Chacahua In this episode I visit a terrible relic from the past, the town where there used to be a turtle slaughterhouse and where millions of turtles were killed in Mexico for their meat, leather and eggs. I continue along the coast to find a place where they protect turtles but to my shock, I learn that those operations have mainly stopped since the pandemic because there is no more money. Without any governmental funding either, these projects are mostly stranded. One is still going and is run completely by volunteers - I am in awe of the dedication to save these species and am grateful for the opportunity to see their incredi

In this episode I am riding to Oaxaca, in Mexico. On the way, I stumble upon a small motorcycle shop that turns out to have the parts that I have been looking for for weeks and weeks in El Salvador, Guatemala and Mexico. I cannot believe they have EVERYTHING!

In this episode, I am riding from Oaxaca in Mexico to Puebla. What starts out as a lovely day riding dirt roads in the mountains, quickly changes when I get to the main highway which turns out to be blocked by people with guns.

In this episode, I am exploring some interesting parts of Puebla, in Mexico. After a good dose of history and culture, I ride to Mexico City, but not just via any route - I choose the route via Volcano Popocateple, one of Mexico's most active volcanoes...

In this episode I am riding across the "Sierra Magica", or the Magical Mountains of Mexico, on my way to the spectacular ruins of El Tajin.

In this episode I am riding to the small town of Zimapan in Mexico. The beginning of the ride is on tarmac, but as soon as I hit the dirt roads, the fun can begin. These lush and green canyons in Mexico completely blow my mind !!

In this episode I am discovering the area around Zimapan. First I visit the Red Dunes, and am amazed how I can ride around a landscape that looks just like mars! Next, I continue to a canyon and I am surprised by an even more incredible place...

In this episode I am riding through a remote mountain area in Mexico and ride straight into a small canyon. What a ride, I never knew this type of scenery existed in Mexico and there were so many mountain passes and canyons to ride through. On dirt roads!!

In this episode I want to reach Real de Catorce, high up in the mountains of Mexico. I take a route which turns out to be not very common and quite rough in parts.. Did I make a mistake coming this way?

In this episode I get valuable information that I shouldn't ride my planned route through Zacatecas in Mexico because it's a very dangerous area. That means that instead of 400 kilometers of roads through the mountains, I have to ride 600 kilometers over the highway to avoid this area. Will I even make that in one day on a CRF300Rally?

In this episode, I am riding my motorcycle through the Zone of Silence in Mexico. UFO sightings, meteorite impacts, compasses that spin out of control and no radio signals. This is one of the most mysterious places in Mexico, and maybe even thew world...

In this video, I am riding to Creel, which is right at the edge of the Copper Canyon, worlds second largest canyon. I am trying to cross over to the coast so I can take the ferry to Baja California, but to get there, I have to ride through Chihuahua and Sinaloa, two notorious states in Mexico.

In this episode, I am riding from Creel to Urique. I cross the worlds second largest canyon in the world, the Copper Canyon. This is also cartel territory and I have to take precautions to try and secure a safe passage.

In this episode I am riding from Urique to El Fuerte. That means I am trying to get out of the Copper canyon and cross the state border from Chihuahua into Sinaloa.

In this episode, I am leaving the State of Sinaloa in Mexico and take the overnight ferry across to Baja California with my motorcycle. It all sounds very simple, but one must jump through quite some hoops to make that happen...

In this episode, I have to replace my tires as my rear tire is too worn to get me through another 2000 kilometers until I reach the USA. I manage to get my hands on some nice tires and off I go into the Baja desert!

In this episode I continue riding north through Baja California. The dirt roads here are absolutely fantastic, but finding fuel is a little more unconventional.. Loving these 'petrol stations'!

In this episode, I brace myself for a very long day of riding. Soon however, I realize I am riding on a rally track, but in opposite direction... Luckily, soon after, the track branches and I manage to lose the rally riders and have the whole place to myself again... and wow, this is the best motorcycle ride in a long time!

In this episode, the ride continues through the incredible desert of Baja California and I have a very lucky lunch encounter...

In this episode I'm riding through the Rocky Mountains Trench, an incredible feature that is so large, it can be seen from space. Besides riding through this amazing part of the world, I also have some more wildlife encounters...

In this episode I'm riding my Honda CRF300L rally to Jasper, Canada. I'm visiting Emerald Lake, Lake Louis and ride the Icefields Parkway road - the scenery of the Rocky Mountains here is just breathtaking!

In this episode I first ride to Williams Lake because I want to visit Soda Creek and ask a specific question to the First Nations people here. It turns out to be a very interesting visit, and afterwards I continue to Prince George, to replace the springs of my rear shock with stiffer ones.

In this episode I am visiting Fort St. James, where the living museum gives insight in the fur trade of the late 1800's in Canada. I had no idea this was how it was going down there at the time!

In this episode I am riding to Kitimat, in British Columbia, Canada. I start the day leaving an airbnb on a beautiful farm in the woods, and ride as many backroads as I can to reach Kitimat. At some point, I have no other choice but to get on the paved road, as there are too many snowy mountains ahead of me!

In this episode, I am making my way to Haida Gwaii, a collection of over 300 islands off the coast of Canada. Get ready to be mesmerized!

In this episode, I am exploring the large, northern island of Haida Gwaii: Grahams Island. This island is full of deer, bears and incredible beauty.. LET'S GO!

In this episode, I am exploring the remotest islands of Haida Gwaii and get to meet several Haida watchmen, who watch over their sacred sites.

In this episode, I continue my exploring of the south parts of the island group of Haida Gwaii, land of the Haida people. From the magical forests, to the colorful underwater life - they also call this place the Galapagos of North America.

In this episode I am entering Nisga'a territory, along the banks of the Nass river. A volcanic eruption about 250 years ago forever changed the landscape and its people.

In this episode, I am exploring the Salmon Glacier, close to Stewart. To reach it, I have to briefly cross the border into Alaska, and continue from there back into Canada. Even though this is not the largest glacier of Canada, to be able to ride high up in the mountains and look down at the glacier is just unique...

In this episode, I am riding to Telegraph Creek, in Canada. It's a remote place, and only a dirt road leading to it. I didn't really know what to expect, but... well, let's say it exceeded all of my expectations!

In this video I am doing a monster day of over 800 kilometers in one day. On a little CRF300L Rally! Welcome to CANADA!

In this episode, I am exploring the Carcross desert in Canada, also called 'the worlds smallest desert'. But is it really a desert though? Let's find out while riding some dunes!

I did not see this coming when I rode into Skagway, Alaska! What a quirky little town, with lots of gold rush history. Turns out, no visit to Skagway is complete without visiting the famous Red Onion Saloon...

In this episode, I am riding back into Canada for one last time. And well, when I spot a little trail through the woods, I decide to take it but it gets a little challenging. Quite unnerving have a motorcycle on the ground after having spotted two bears that day already..

In this video I am visiting a remote corner of the Yukon, where once, huge amounts of silver were mined here and transported through the mountains loaded on the backs of horses. This is where I find the coolest snackbar I have ever been to...

In this episode I am riding to Dawson City in Canada. This town and all the infrastructure this far north into the Yukon would not have existed without the discovery of gold in 1896. It was the start of the Yukon Gold Rush and I didn't realize, that 125 years later .. they are still mining gold here.

In this episode, I am investigating the gold exploration and mining scene of Dawson City. I get to see how the locals run their gold operations up close and learn from them. Let's do some panning and see if there is any gold left!

In this video I finally cross the border into the main part of ALASKA!! What a great feeling to finally reach it. I pass the tiny town of Chicken and they have a very odd tradition over here...

From blowing up underwear in an Alaskan bar, to blowing a fork seal. What's going on here in Alaska?! I am surprised this happened as I'd just had the seals replaced in Canada. Luckily, I bump into Chris from Unchained Tours, who is leading a motorcycle tour through Alaska and they help me with some ingenious British invention!

In this episode I am visiting McCarthy - a remote place in Alaska. In the early 1900s, the worlds richest copper ore deposit was discovered here and I get to see the inside of the mill, after having sit abandoned for almost a century....

In this episode, I visit the Matanuska Glacier in Alaska. What an impressive sight. Because of dangerous crevasses, I am only allowed to walk on the glacier with a guide who knows the ice very well.. The next day, I continue to Anchorage, where I drop off my CRF300Rally with Bill, from Bayshore Moto. He did a fantastic job on my bike and can recommend him to everyone needing service on their bikes.

In this episode, I am exploring the Kenai peninsula of Alaska. Besides world class scenery, this area has a lot of history too. Alaska used to be colonized by the Russians, until they sold Alaska to the Americans in the 60s.

In this episode, I am exploring the Kenai peninsula a bit further and end up riding to Whittier. The only way to reach this place, is to ride through the same long tunnel that the Alaska train takes - this was definitely a first!!

In this episode, I am leaving Anchorage, for the final push towards the Arctic Ocean. After some glorious weather, the tables have turned and I get hit by downpour all day. It's time to reconsider my plans..

In this episode, I arrive in Nenana, a small village in Alaska, after some epic motorcycling in the area around Denali. Turns out, I can enter the long standing tradition of betting on the ice breaking here. Who am I to break such a tradition!

n this episode, I am finally reaching the Dalton highway - the only road that leads all the way to the Arctic Ocean. My plan is to reach Wiseman, which is the last place to stay before I have to cross the Brooks Range and the final stretch towards the end of this journey...

In this film, I finally reach the Arctic Ocean, which marks the end of a journey that took me nearly three years to complete. I look back at some of the most important memories I have on this adventure. Thank you so much for joining me in this journey and I will be back soon again for new adventures, but first.. I need a little break!
